"Two games a day?"

As most of you will be aware, the forums have stopped growing. This places a question mark over the extra game being given out every day, which really is more justified at the 2000 mark (as originally intended).

Can anybody tell my why the forums have stopped growing? If possible we would prefer them to continue their ascent.

Possibly as the forum gets more snowed under, people are put off by the fact that they can't keep track of thigns, and either post less or leave.

End of summer holidays effect is also likely.


Scrapping the extra gameday is fine by me though, as a possible solution.

Also, I think some of the 'traffic' needs to be split a little to the other forums. FOG chat is getting an awful lot of posts.

2 theories,

1. The forums are mirroring the stock market (least likely!!!)

2. People like me who have started 6th form, are completely snowed under with induction assignments, and therefore have no time to play games let alone discuss them.

Oh I've just thought of a number 3

It is a sign of respect for the thousands of people who have died in America.

seeyas, and I'm sorry for ending on a sad note!!!

cant be helped really considering what has happened.

The forum's stopped growing because it's been growing so much. All the newbies talking about nothing to do with games have put me off. I have other forums to talk about other stuff, and I go there when I want to talk about other stuff. When I want to get away from the 99% of idiots in this world and have intelligent conversations, I come here, but iff all I find is bananas and toast, I just leave again.

Tony, I agree with that the others day. It's that time of the year where people have gone back to school and Uni. Give it a few weeks and it should creep up again. Personally, I didn't notice a decline.

Please to help.

Maybe people who are sick sore and tired of writing decent, excellent discussions and reviews are a bit peeved with sub-standard topics and reviews winning GAD in their place.

I'm sure people would agree with me.

I agree with the others opinions. This place I would say is populated with about 80% youngsters who are still at school and the other 20% who are working. So in the day unless they don't really care about their planned day ahead of them then they will spend it on here, as I wish I could. But fate takes part and wanting to be a doctor will result in me being here hardly ever in a few months. Not that anyone will notice that I have gone.

I reckon that after 5/6pm the chat rooms must be livining up to their max and thats when things really start to become enjoyable. In the summer holidays I will admit to spending 19 hours non stop on this web site because of the sheer enjoyment on this site, and this went on for several weeks.

Although being a newbie on this site I have learned my place and have met some great people, so even if it is below the 2000 count then don't worry Tony, as it's not the number it's the majority of people who are friendly and respect the site that counts.

Too true, too true. I have little time now to post on this site, thanks to the jaw-dropping amount of homework my teachers have set me.

Bloody year 11, I tell ye, you won' be seein' me aroung t' forums for a while, me laddies.

It's annoying. Don't worry about it, Tony, it'll be alright.

I post more during school time.

At home, I only get to go on at restricted hours (from 9-10)

If I go on before that, people trying to phone get blocked.

At school, internet is free at break time or just after school (like now).

This is probably just my 5th post in a week which is pretty poor. I reckon its just that there is not much gaming wise to talk about at the moment. Oh and the lack of spam makes a big difference.

My posting has decreased dramitiaclly since i went bac to college. I was averaging about 40 posts a day in the holidays. Now that figure has dropped closer to about 10 posts a day. i just dont get the same amount of time.
